Agreed but I can't tell from the picture if it has any or not, i use to have some straps that had abrasion sleeves that were the same color so it might have them.
Straps don't last long on concrete corners!

Thanks. I was driving, didn't think about taping the loose ends which it probably was. I didn't see anything on the concrete edges which would wear the straps out quickly especially with vibration.

And the problem was.... you were embarrassed? I do not see a problem with this at all - totally safe and legal - assuming he had an SMV emblem on the back.

Perhaps because it was on skids being drug on the highway?
Kind of like that old comedy routine:
"No Mr. Foxworthy, it's not illegal to tow a boat behind your pickup in Georgia, but we do require that you have it on a trailer. And no, I don't need a beer, and neither do your friends in the boat."

A dually at that but hey, he has a spare wheel on top of the pile. Do the lugnuts still look attached to it?

That is what I was thinking, i.e. the hub was still attached to the wheel. But since the right side is tandem - what happened to the other wheel?

The problem was that it was the size of a small garage, we were in a somewhat residential rural area and he was leaving marks in the center of the road at a very slow speed. I mean, I would do it too but you're supposed to have some degree of remorse so people don't blame you for the damage.
A neighbor farmer accidental dropped--lowered-- his very heavy chisel plows on the blacktop road a few years ago. It patched up OK and the damaged part seemed to melt back together. Didn't seem to bother anyone.

You don’t see a problem with dragging a shed down the road?
